NCT ID NCT04392960

First seen Apr 29, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looked at 30 people newly diagnosed with cardiac AL amyloidosis, a rare disease where abnormal proteins build up in the heart. Researchers used advanced imaging (MRI, PET, and ultrasound) along with blood tests to see which measurements best predict survival and how the heart responds to chemotherapy. The goal was to improve monitoring and treatment planning, not to test a new therapy.
